…point directly The npm .cmd/.ps1 shims fail inside the VS Code extension host because node.exe isn't on PATH in that environment. This fix: 1. Dynamically discovers node.exe (Program Files, nvm-windows, volta, fnm, scoop) 2. Falls back to direct node invocation: reads the .cmd shim to find the JS entry point, then runs 'node.exe <entry.js> <args>' — bypasses the shim entirely 3. Adds 'where node' as last-resort node.exe discovery
